Hogan's Heroes

Hogan's Heroes is the classic barracks sitcom about American prisoners of war Colonel Robert E. Hogan (Bob Crane), James "Kinch" Kinchloe (Ivan Dixon), Sergeant Baker (Kenneth Washington), Andrew J. Carter (Larry Hovis), Louis LeBeau (Robert Clary), and Peter Newkirk (Richard Dawson), who are imprisoned in Hammelburg, but are actually working against the Germans from inside. Using the base for Allied espionage, the POW's have radio contact and secret tunnels, and manipulate the German's for their benefit. Colonel Hogan is the leader, with Klinch in charge of telecommunication, Carter is their chemist and bomb maker, LeBeau their French chef, and Newkirk is the slick conman. The naive and bumbling Germans, led by Colonel Wilhelm Klink (Werner Klemperer), are the incompetent guard Hans Georg Schultz (John Banner), flirty secretaries Fraulein Helga (Cynthia Lynn) and Fraulein Hilda (Sigrid Valdis), and the suspicious Gestapo Major Wolfgang Hochstetter (Howard Caine).
